In current agent systems agent migration is only possible between homogeneous systems supporting identical agent platforms, limiting an agent’s possibilities considerably. This paper revisits the notion of generative migration. Generative migration entails migration of an agent blueprint, instead of complete code. This approach relies on homogeneity of libraries on different platforms to re-incarnate agents, but does not require homogeneity of platforms. Agent Factories are used to assemble agents at their destination, adapting an agent to its environment. This paper continues earlier work on generative migration by extending available theory and providing a demonstration and implementation of generative cross-platform agent migration using Agent Factories.
